Gard’ner.); Special Constabulary Long Service Medal, G.V.R., 2nd issue (Richard D. Gard’ner) mounted as originally worn, ribands a little frayed, generally very fine or better (5) £1,800-£2,200 --- M.C. London Gazette 30 January 1920 [Gallantry whilst a prisoner of war, escaping or attempting to escape]. M.I.D. London Gazette 5 June 1919 (East Africa) and 8 July 1919. Richard Dyce Gard’ner was born in August 1883, and was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Seaforth Highlanders in January 1902. He was attached to the West African Frontier Force, February 1908 - December 1911, and advanced to Captain in March 1913. Gard’ner was posted to the 1st Battalion, Seaforth Highlanders at Agra, India, in April 1914. He was attached to the Indian Volunteers with the outbreak of the Great War, and served as Adjutant, April - July 1915. Action at Ngwembe, 24-25 January 1917 Gard’ner was posted as a Staff Captain to the W.A.F.F., and served attached to the Nigeria Regiment, August 1915 - June 1918, including as part of the Cameroons Expeditionary Force, 1915-1916. Gard’ner advanced to Major, 18 January 1917, and was prominent in the East Africa Campaign. On 24 January 1917 a column comprising of men from the 3rd Battalion, Nigerian Regiment and one company of the 4th Battalion under the command of Lieutenant Colonel J. Archer left a town called Kibongo, Tanzania, and headed south towards the German positions at Ngwembe: ‘About seven miles from Kibonji the enemy was encountered in some strength. This was about a mile from the water holes, which were the objective of the force. Major Gardner [sic], commanding the advanced guard, was ordered to turn the German right with two companies. About 1100 hours Captain Milne-Home’s company was leading; having deployed and reached within 50 yards of the water holes, it was driven back about 200 yards on to the supporting company. A vigourous fight continued for about an hour, during which two machine guns were captured and the bodies of some 30 Askaris were counted lying between them. The enemy then put in a heavy counter-attack on Gardner’s force, during which Captains Cooke and Dudley were killed, as were Lieutenants Ewen and Harrison. Gardner himself was wounded and three of his machine guns were captured. The two companies became disorganized and retired through the bush, not emerging until some distance behind Archer’s main body. In the meantime Archer had wired for reinforcements. 15 Company 4 Battalion was despatched at 1345 hours, not arriving till 1615 hours. By this time Archer had begun to retire and Captain Maxwell, commanding this company, was ordered to withdraw and dig in at a small stream three miles farther back. Some 10 minutes later Maxwell met Sargent with 4 Battalion headquarters, 13 Company, and the Battalion baggage, coming to reinforce Archer’s Battalion from Kibonji. At this time 15 Company’s carriers were in front of the Company. It is supposed they mistook the reinforcements for Askaris, causing them to panic and bolt; they were not seen again that day. About 1630 hours Sargent met Archer; the latter is reported to have agreed to dig in with 3 Battalion at the stream aforementioned, but this he did not do, continuing his retreat to Kibonji. On this understanding Sargent ordered 15 Company to rejoin 4 Battalion; he then put Major Roberts in command of half 13 and 15 Companies with instructions to cover the retirement of 3 Battalion. By 1700 hours these six sections were in position and the whole of Archer’s force, except his rearguard of No. 10 Company, had passed through them. At this juncture the enemy counter-attacked, supported by concentrated rifle and machine-gun fire; thereupon the carriers of both battalions stampeded. To add to the confusion and the carrier’s demoralisation a few snipers had worked round both flanks, causing further casualties among them. No. 10 Company now joined Robert’s detachment. A firing line was built up on each side of the road and continued to hold the position for half an hour when he was forced to retire, as his right flank was enveloped. Captain Barclay was killed at this moment; he had only taken command of 13 Company a few hours earlier. Colour Sergeant Lamb of this company had been killed directly the 1700 hours counter-attack began; this B.N.C.O. had greatly distinguished himself at Gallipoli, where he won the D.C.M. and Bar..... On Barclay’s death Lieutenant Hilton took command of the two sections of 13 Company, whose behaviour in carrying out the difficult retirement was beyond praise, as the denseness of the bush and the heavy fire to which they were subjected made it most difficult to see their enemy. This retirement, had, however, left 10 Company ‘in the air’, so Sargent in person advanced with 15 and half 16 Companies to their support. It was now 1815 hours and the enemy withdrew, Sargent now learnt that Archer had withdrawn to Kibonji. He thereupon retired to camp himself, leaving 15 and half 16 Companies to hold an outpost position that night, collect what wounded they could and as much baggage as possible, under Roberts. At 2030 hours Sargent arrived at Kibonji; at 0015 hours the 25th January, Badham with a company from each 1 and 4 Battalions left to recover all loads. His column had a difficult march of seven miles on a pitch-dark night through almost trackless bush. At 0230 hours a tropical deluge made the foothold so greasy that one slipped back half the distance as each step was taken. It was in a great measure due to Company Sergeant Major Morakinyo Ibadan, acting Regimental Sergeant Major 4 Battalion, that the way was found to Robert’s position. For his services he was awarded the D.C.M. It was estimated that the enemy’s force (commanded by Otto with 3, 23 and 24 Ks and 14 Res. K) in this engagement numbered some 600 rifles and many machine-guns. Their casualties were reported as 12 killed, 14 wounded and 20 missing. British casualties, besides those mentioned, included Lieutenants Pomeroy and Thompson and Sergeants Speak, Rowe and Woolley captured and wounded. Also Lieutenant Jeffries captured with Gardner while helping to the dress the latter’s wound. Forty three other ranks were wounded and eight captured.’ (History of the Royal West African Frontier Force refers) Gard’ner advanced to Acting Lieutenant Colonel, and served for the last month of the war in command of the 4th Battalion, Gordon Highlanders in the French theatre of war. Colonel retired in April 1921, and the following obituary appeared in Cabar Feidh: ‘Lieutenant Colonel R. D. Gard’ner, formerly of the Seaforth Highlanders, who was recently called from the Reserve of Officers for service with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, collapsed and died while watching a dress rehearsal of the Aldershot Tattoo, on Thursday night, June 1, 1939... To the regret of his wide circle of friends, the death occurred with tragic suddenness... Colonel Gard’...

A Second War ‘North West Europe’ M.M. awarded to Gunner L. K. Smith, Observation Post Signaller, 13th Canadian Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, recommended for his gallantry for service from D-Day to the Battle of Keppeln, 26 February 1945 Military Medal, G.VI.R. (M 66026 Gnr. L. K. Smith. R.C.A.); 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence Medal, Canadian issue in silver; Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, with overseas clasp; War Medal 1939-45, Canadian issue in silver, campaign awards in card boxes of issue, with Canadian Army Soldier’s Service and Pay Book, generally good very fine or better (6) £1,000-£1,400 --- M.M. London Gazette 24 January 1946. The original recommendation states: ‘Gunner Lionel Kenneth Smith has acted as Observation Post Signaller from “D” Day, until the cessation of hostilities. As such, he has been continuously with the forward infantry troops relaying the fire orders to the guns during all the fighting. During this long period, he has consistently, under the most difficult conditions, remained at his wireless set. At times, when it was advisable for everyone else to take cover, he continued to pass the necessary orders. Every Forward Observation Officer, who worked with him, knew that when Gunner Smith was on the R/T set, if it were humanely possible, the orders would be passed. On 26 Feb 45, he was the R/T operator with the Artillery Forward Observation Officer with ‘B’ Company of the North Shore Regiment of Canada in their attack on Keppeln. This battle ranks with the toughest and finest of the war. ‘B’ and ‘C’ companies were reinforced by ‘A’ and ‘D’ companies. The Forward Observation Officer was wounded and replaced. Gunner Smith manned his set from the start to the finish of the battle. This is an example of this soldier’s steady, reliable service throughout the campaign.’ Lionel Kenneth Smith was born in Starkweather, North Dakota, USA in October 1917. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian Artillery at Edmonton, Canada in July 1941. He served with the 13th Canadian Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery during the Second War. Smith was discharged in January 1947.

A Second War Lancaster bomber Wireless Operator’s Immediate D.F.M. awarded to Sergeant K. P. C. Williams, 550 Squadron, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, for selfless gallantry in attending to wounded crew members when their aircraft was attacked by fighters after a bombing mission against Berlin in March 1944; his luck ran out the following month when his Lancaster was shot down over France by enemy night fighters with the loss of the whole crew Distinguished Flying Medal, G.VI.R. (908406 Sgt. K. P. C. Williams. R.A.F.); 1939-45 Star; Air Crew Europe Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, the first mounted on its original investiture pin, extremely fine (5) £1,800-£2,200 --- D.F.M. London Gazette 2 May 1944: ‘One night in March, 1944, this airman was the wireless operator (air) of an aircraft which attacked Berlin. Soon after the bombs had been released the aircraft was attacked by fighters and sustained much damage. After the enemy aircraft had been evaded it was discovered that the mid-upper and rear gunners had been wounded. Displaying great promptitude, Sergeant Williams extricated the rear gunner from his turret. He was unconscious and his oxygen mask was damaged. Without regard for his own welfare, Sergeant Williams removed his own mask and fitted it to the face of his injured comrade. He then attended to the needs of the other gunner to whom he rendered efficient first aid. But for his prompt aid it is doubtful whether his injured comrades would have survived the long flight home. Throughout the sortie, Sergeant Williams displayed great co-operation and devotion to duty.’ Kenneth Percy Charles Williams was killed on the night of 10-11 April 1944, when Lancaster I ‘LL836 BQ-E’ took part in a sortie to bomb the railway yards at Aulnoye. Having taken off from North Killingholme at 2325 hrs the aircraft was shot down by a night-fighter and crashed less than a kilometre NNW of Achiet-le-Petit in the Pas-de-Calais, 7 km NW of Bapaume. All seven crew rest in Achiet-le-Petit Communal Cemetery.
